    Need help locating aft bilge pump on my 2021 330 express!

    The pump will run dry (no damage). Ensure you lift the float to test. I usually replace both when replacement is needed.

    Looking for a livewell and rear seat hatches on a 1996 30’ Marlin

    They were a custom resin transfer molded part made by GW. I think your best bet may be to go see a cabinet maker and see if you can have one fabricated out of a starboard like material or maybe wood.

    Could try reaching out to the manufacturer or doing a broad internet search for cleaning that type of material.

    Transom rebuild 1995 Sailfish 272 sportsbridge

    Most I've seen are from the outside. The glass is cut around the outer edge of the transom and removed in a single piece. You'll have the wood core right there and easy to access at that point. There are a few vids on the net and on this site. Maybe search and get some ideas,

    Correct prop for 228 Seafarer with F225 Yamaha?

    Two ideas. See if there is a local prop shop where you can test a few different ones out, then buy the one that performs best. 2nd is to check the GW website and see if there are any performance bulletins on the model. If so, they will highlight what was likely shipped from the factory.

    Excess water in the forward bilge of my 228 Seafarer.

    First thing I'd do is get the HIN and send info along to GW Cust Service. They should be able to tell you how it is built as well as best way to locate and clean it out.

    I agree with Dennis. Get a few different metal cleaners and see how they work out.

    New Canvas - what to do

    I went with the white Stamoid that GW used originally from A&J Canvas when I redid mine. On my 282 I had the blue Sunbrella.. I think both Sunbrella and Stamoid are a solid choice.. Have to say that the waxy Stamoid has been great with weather and stains so would get a tad higher rating.

    Bulkhead replacement

    I was able to get all the backside material out and get to the backside of the glass. I went with Coosa board and glassed it in. It really came out nice and has stood up over the last 5 years. I'd recommend it.

    Always open to new ideas. I also use Nautical One mold and mildew remover.

    New Canvas - what to do

    I always take them down and lay them flat or over the back side of a sectional in a spare room for winter with temp at approx 55 deg. About this time, I'll clean and polish the glass and put them up before splashing for the season. I think they last longer this way.

    Fuel smell bilge 1999 306 Grady Bimini

    you certainly can take a shot at the fill lines and likely should. you'll be changing them if you do the tanks. this being said, you are at the time where the tanks likely need replacement.
